The Pushback

In "The Pushback", a powerful and timely documentary, a group of bold voices in Texas – including Congresswoman Veronica Escobar and Austin city council hopeful Natasha Harper-Madison – confront decades of institutional racism and discrimination along the border. As they fight for immigrant rights, challenge land seizures to build the border wall, and grapple with the troubled racial history of the state, this film reveals a Texas once known for reactionary politics that is increasingly liberal, diverse, and on the brink of violent conflict.
